Originally established in the late 1800s as a ‘Gentleman’s Suburb’, Killara has never had many commercial properties, favouring residential buildings instead. To this day, it technically has no supermarket of its own, however several are located in surrounding areas. Killara does enjoy a range of cafes and other eateries as well as specialty stores, mostly located along the Pacific Highway and clustered around the train station (right in the middle of the suburb). Many parks and one of Sydney’s premier golf clubs – Killara Golf Club (established in 1899) provide abundant greenery for the suburb.
